Re: SX50 vs. SX60 - My thoughts. What About SX70 Thoughts?

I've been an SX50 fan since it came out and have had three. The first died when I fell on it and destroyed the lens; the second, after in excess of 150,000 images, now has issues in extending and focusing the lens; the third is virtually new, purchased when it was one of the last new ones available. Long story short, I purchased an SX70 about a month ago and love the ergonomics and controls -- BUT, compared pictures from the SX50, I've been sorely disappointed with the SX70's image quality right out of the camera.

However, with a good bit of editing the SX70's images can be significantly improved. Here's just one photo comparison -- right out of the camera on top, after editing on the bottom --

This holds true for most ANY camera.

Improvements once one  edits the jpegs OOC.

Never did own a camera that didn't improve I.Q. after some adjustments in post.

Newer SX models than SX50 seem to have artifacts that the SX50 didn't have.

I think it's the sensors that Canon used to blame. I used to think the lens was worse on the SX60.

But it seems fine. Same lens is used on SX60 and SX70...so it's the sensor that has lowered the I.Q. somewhat.

Lens is able to deliver sharp results at the 1365mm end, as this thread with examples from SX60 and SX70 have shown.
